  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

    King William IV, monarch of England, reigned from 1830 until his death in 1837. William served in the Royal Navy in his youth and was, both during his reign and afterwards, nicknamed the "Sailor King". He served in North America and the Carribean. In 1789, he was crowned The Duke of Clarence and St Andrew's. Since his two older brothers died without leaving legitimate issue, he unexpectedly inherited the throne when he was 64 years old. His reign saw several reforms: the poor law was updated, child labour restricted, slavery abolished in nearly all the British Empire, and the British electoral system refashioned by the Reform Act 1832. At the time of his death William had no surviving legitimate children, but he was survived by eight of the ten illegitimate children he had by the actress Dorothea Jordan, with whom he cohabited for 20 years. William was succeeded in the United Kingdom by his niece, Victoria, and in Hanover by his brother, Ernest Augustus. Clarence Street was named in honour of "The Duke Of Clarence".

  • Savoyard Boy
    ATHE ITE eA Library The Boston Letter from eAthenteum No. 90 SEPTEMBER 1988 ... Into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. AT was certainly where we unhappy Bostonians seemed to have fallen in July and August, along with most of the rest of the country, of course. Even the thick-walled Athenreum, reasonably comfortable in summer seasons past, fell a rapid victim to the torrid invasion of 1988. The staff was heroic, if wilted, and surely deserves our chorus of THANKS! The Print Room became quite a popular resort, seeming almost alpine in comparison to the rest of our building. Perhaps, if sumn1er 1989 confirms that we have indeed entered the era of the "Greenhouse Effect," the Trustees might consider additional air-conditioned areas, say the Read­ ing Room? Well, we trust that by the time this issue of Items reaches you we shall all have cooled down considerably and be experiencing a truly delightful autumn! August ( 1989) Closure This seems the appropriate place to pass on the Director's first (and early) noti­ fication that the Library will be closed for inventory during August 1989, as it has been for several Augusts in the recent past. Specific information will be given in a later notification, but we may assume that Reference Service will be available by telephone, that books may be charged out and returned during certain stated hours, and that the Book Mailing Service \Vill function as usual. We can all agree that these inventories have much improved the condition of our collections and the proper shelving thereof.

  • Hogarth His Life and Society
    • The 18th century was the great age for satire and caricature. • Hogarth • Gillray, Rowlandson, Cruikshank 1 2 Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), grotesque faces, c. 1492 Annibale Carracci (1560-1609), grotesque heads, 1590 Annibale Carracci, The Bean Eater, 1580-90, 57 × 68 cm, Galleria Colonna, Rome • Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) drew some of the earliest examples of caricature (exaggeration of the physical features of a face or body) but they do not have a satirical intent. These faces by Leonardo are exploring the limits of human physiognomy. • The Italian artist Annibale Carracci (1560-1609) was know for and was one of the first artists in Italy to explore the appearance of everyday life. Here are some heads he sketched and a well-known painting called The Bean Eater. He is in the middle of a simple meal of beans, bread, and pig's feet. He is not shown as a caricature or as a comical or lewd figure but as a working man with clean clothes. The ‘snapshot’ effect is entirely unprecedented in Western art and he shows dirt under the fingernails before Caravaggio. Food suitable for peasants was considered to be dark and to grow close to the ground. Aristocrats would only least light coloured food that grew a long way from the ground. It is assumed that this painting was not commissioned but was painted as an exercise. The painting owes much to similar genre painting in Flanders and Holland but in Italy it was unprecedented for its naturalism and careful, objective study from life. • The Carracci were a Bolognese family that helped introduce the Baroque.
